Browns trade Winslow to Bucs for "undisclosed draft picks."

WOW!!! I wonder what the picks are. Gives teh Browns some much needed flexibility and the Bucs a nice safety valve WHEN healthy. Could put up some okay numbers down there. A deal that truly helps out both teams.

I thought Heiden played well in KW's absence. My buddy kept yapping about making a push for WInslow, but I wanted nothing to do with him. We already have our receiving TE in Celek, we just need another one, one that is multi dimensional. (Pettigrew comes to mind...I'll let you know when I wake up from this dream.)

i don't know if he's the answer either-or zorn for that matter. but i sure wish jack kent cooke could have lived forever. i haven't been happy with how the team has done since the old man died, and snyder bought the team.

Bart Scott just has to sign on the dotted line.

Jets also rumored to be frontrunners for former Steelers G Chris Kemoeatu and may have a deal in the works for former Bills CB Jabari Greer.

Done deal. Congrats.

Zorn is way too old to play QB.

Based upon Kemoeatu's Super Bowl I wouldn't be real excited about him

Yeah, he re-upped with Pittsburgh anyway. I'm kinda glad. I wasn't nuts over giving $5 million a year to a one-year starter off a lousy line drafted in the sixth round.

Also, Scott still hasn't signed. I hope he doesn't pull an Antoine Winfield. :mad:

He stunk in that game. Maybe it was a bad game or he was hurting or something but his guys were chasing Ben all over the place or he was holding or offsides.

Anybody know his contract status? How many years does he have left before he flies the coop?

SniperSB23 02-27-2009 02:58 PM

Laveranues Coles currently touring the Bills practice facilities. Would be an interesting pickup. I figured he was a lock to be reunited with Pennington in Miami.

NOt sure how long he's inked up for, but it says he's set to make 4.5 in 2009 and 4.75 in 2010.


In other news, I think that Denver signed both JJ Arrington and Correll Buckhalter. If so, thank you CB for all the years here. If only Andy would have run you more.

I believe this is the last year of his 6 year rookie contract he signed in 2004.

I think the birds will get the RB from Pitt (the college team). He seems like he'd be a great addition.

Lesean McCoy. He'll be a good back in the pro's. I, like many others, want Donald Brown from UConn. Give him a good line and he'll be a stud.

Thanks Scott.

I hope that conditional pick isn't much. Since I am sure the cheap ass Bucs won't lay out the money to resign him. It'll be one and done, esp. if he has a big year.

Didn't see this, if they get two years out of him, then I'm okay with it (still depending on how high the draft pick is).

My best guess for the discrepancy is that he was suspended for the year he missed after the motorcycle accident so that year must not have counted towards his contract. So his six year contract actually lasts for seven seasons.

King Glorious 02-27-2009 03:37 PM

I think too big a deal is made on the total amount of these NFL contracts. It's not like baseball and basketball where it's guaranteed money. It's year to year. I seriously doubt Haynesworth sees anywhere close to $100 million or Hall sees $54 million. Seriously doubt it.
